"I love to cycle. As a medical intern in India in 1988, I biked from Delhi to Leh and from Srinagar to Delhi. I dreamt, one day, to ride from one end of India to the other. Twenty-five years later, I am fulfilling this dream and combining it with my other passion, which is to connect with people and to start meaningful dialogues on health and humanitarian action.
